Hi, I'm currently a Bachelor of Finance and Investment student year 1.
I have taken the CFP Module 1 last year and pass it.
I'm thinking whether I should take Module 2 or not.
I did some reading on the Internet and found out it is actually a quite common professional certification where many people got it.
Initially I was very determined to take Module 2, but all of my friends that pass don't want to continue anymore. They hearsay people take CFP to sell insurance.
My question is, what are the specific area CFP will help me in my future career, let say I'll be a financial advisor or in other finance related field.
My plan is by the time I graduate, I will have an professional certification which most of the undergraduate don't have. Then I'll enroll in CFA, which I know it in very different level compared to CFP.
Thanks.

Or compare CFA with FRM - Financial Risk Manager http://www.wallstreetmojo.com/cfa-vs-frm/
It boils down to your career goal. CFP is for the financial advisor/financial planner
